I went to the NYC one at the Bottomline (great little venue ). It was great, the other players there were just as incredible.

What Carlo said... the NYC "Nothing But Guitars" event was really cool. There's a thread here about "Whispering a Prayer" -- well, Steve gave a great demo of the technique of that song. (Though I recall he was bothered a little at first by a failing battery in the Sustainer.)
